Queen's Roger Taylor and Brian May have discovered a new Queen song featuring Freddie Mercury.

The two musicians announced during an interview with Zoe Ball for BBC Radio 2 on Monday (6 June 22) that the previously unreleased track will be released later this year. “We found a little Freddie gem that we kind of forgot,” Roger Taylor says of the song. “And it's wonderful. In fact, it was a real discovery”.

“It's from Miracle Sessions and I think it's coming out in September,” he adds.

As for who discovered this nugget, for him, “it was kind of hidden in plain sight. We listened to it several times and thought, "Oh no, we can't really salvage this." But actually, we went back and our wonderful engineering team said we could do it. It's like putting pieces together."

For Brian May, the song, titled Face It Alone, is "beautiful" and "moving", while for Roger Taylor it is "very passionate".

Freddie Mercury died aged 45 in 1991.
